Respected Experts & Fellow Professional Colleagues

I am a Chartered Accountant keen to do some courses for career growth and recently came across 2 (two) such courses viz: Certified Financial Planner (CFP) & Certified Credit Research Analyst (CCRA). I would really appreciate if some of you could throw some light on either of the two mentioned courses regarding prospects, benefits, etc.

Thanking you.

Regards

CA Abhimanyu Chakraborty

The ccra course is something that you already as a chartered accountant have learned .... Therefore ccra contentwise won't be that new for you but it adds brand value to your c.v. As far as the cfp course is concerned , that will you incline you more towards the investment and investment banking side , and not into a hardcore c.a area......

A cfa / frm course is the most sought after course depending upon your choice , time , interests and budget ...... They shall be very intensive though ...... but they can take your carrier to an international level and not confined to national levels.
